Introduction: Chronic traumatic Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI), leave a significant percentage of permanent motor and sensory disability. Transplantation of Olfactory Mucosa Autografts (OMA) at the lesion site is a hopeful procedure. We present a case-series of patients with SCI treated with OMA.
Material and methods:The AIS scale was utilized for neurologic evaluation. The features of the spinal cord lesion were determined by MRI. Neurophysiological studies were used in patients with clinical improvement. A program of rehabilitation after surgery was used at least for one year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
